Day 3 of 12 Days of Carlee's Christmas

Thanks so much for stopping by CarleeMcDot.com today. Whether you've been following along on my journey since I started this blog TENYEARSAGO or you stopped by for the first time today - WELCOME!

And no matter how long you've been visiting, you picked an AMAZING time to pop in because we're celebrating my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas {read my post announcing this series HERE if you don't know what I'm talking about}.

Today is Day 3 of my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas! And the prize today is pretty FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC! Although, to be honest, all of the prizes are AMAZEBALLS! If I could enter my own giveaways I'm pretty sure I would enter each and every one of them in this series because they are just that awesome.

For today, DAY THREE, three winners will be selected, each winning a Handful bra of their choice.

Although there is much debate as to whether or not a runner should wear under garments on their bottom half, the need for over-the-shoulder-boulder-holders for females while running is a MUST! And finding said garment can be tricky.

I was introduced to Handful bras a couple years ago and haven't looked back since. I will be the first to admit (especially since I would consider myself a self proclaimed 'Frugal Fred'), they cost a pretty penny, but I believe they're worth every cent (and not just because I'm an ambassador, I've been rocking these bras for years before they asked me to be part of their team)! Not only do they #FlatterNotFlatten (say goodbye to the unfortunate unaboob), but they come with removable Lights Out™ pads, offer flat seams on the inside for added comfort, have performance wicking lining and can be customized with adjustable length straps and strap configuration {can be X-back, straight or tied up as a halter}.

As a part of the #SportsBraSquad (which, let me remind you, I joined very reluctantly because I am not thrilled with the way my body looks, but when it is hot and humid and you sweat through your shirt before you start your run, you've gotta do something), I am thrilled to have found a sports bra that not only looks great, but makes me feel great!

Entering this giveaway (along with the other #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas giveaways) is easy-peasy! Simply use the Rafflecopter widget below listed on the giveaway blog post and cross your fingers. Some entries are available daily so I'd HIGHLY recommend entering early and often. (Shoot, I would even go as far as suggesting you set an alarm to remind you to come back to this page every 24 hours so you can take advantage of as many entries as possible!)

a Rafflecopter giveawayNow, the nitty gritty details... All entries are verified, so please make sure to do whatever the required action for the entry is or it will be disqualified. I would hate for you to miss out on winning due to a technicality, so if you are going to click the option, make sure you do whatever it asks or a new, random winner will be selected in your place.

Also, this giveaway will last seven days, with the winners being picked (and notified) on the eighth day. The winners will have 24 hours to reply to the congratulations email from me to claim their prize. That means, for this giveaway, it will end on December 9th at 11:59pm PST and the THREE winners will be chosen on December 10th.And, finally, the winners must have a US mailing address. International shipping seems to cost an arm and a leg these days, and customs is a major headache, so to make it easier (and cheaper) on the brands who have offered up their products, the winners must live in United States of America (or at least have an address we can ship to within the US).

With that said, BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERS! And don't forget to stop back tomorrow to see what is up next in my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas (I promise you do NOT want to miss out on any of these giveaways!)!

PS Just in case you aren't one of the THREE lucky winners, you can use code "CARLEEMCDOT" for 10% off your order (because EVERYONE is a WINNER in my book)! So go get your shop on and save a few dollars in the process!

I buy my bras at Walmart and target. Costco too. I have a couple of victoria secret bras, but they feel big and heavy. I have a 2XU bra that I think will work great, I just haven't ran in it yet. Handful Bras are the next ones I will be checking out.

I loved the Victoria's Secret Incredible bra for running & other high impact workouts (kickboxing, HIIT classes). But they recently redesigned it to include adjustable shoulder straps, and I find it to not be as supportive as the previous version. Currently looking for a new favorite. Love the Handful Bras for lower impact workouts like yoga and barre!

I'm so in love with my Handful that I have a hard time wearing it for actual workouts because I want it as an everyday option. It's flattering, SO soft and comfortable and the pattern I have is adorable!

Mostly I wear Moving Comfort bras (specifically the Rebound Racer), and I'm hesitant to try other brands since those work. A friend gave me a couple of Victoria's Secret bras and those vary in whether they work for me.

I ordered two handful bras a few months ago, and even though they're the most comfortable things ever I think I need a smaller size to run comfortably in them (there's more bounce than I want right now). But I just ordered a size down and I'm super excited! I've been wearing the other ones as regular bras and they're wonderful.

I do really LOVE Handful but I have only been using them for a month or so. I also love Moving Comfort and Under Armour. I still haven't found the "perfect" bra though, as depending on the day or exercise one may or may not feel the same way as it did the previous time.

As a breast cancer survivor, I LIVE in my Handful bras. They are the only ones I can wear without discomfort. I’ve been lucky to get a few on clearance and would welcome the opportunity to add a few more to my drawer.
